The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house both Matthew and Kerri were stirring because it was turkey dinner time.

We may have gone a little overboard (26 pounds!) for the two of us.

Here’s the first of 45+ meals.

In true fine dining we ate on the couch while watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and A Muppet Family Christmas.

Here are the next 11 full meals and the rest of the bird to carve in the background.

The eight containers on the right are all packed up for freezing along with the bones. I don’t think they’ll make it to November this year, but we’ll see what happens.

Finally, we washed it down with a glass of wine for Matt and glass of advent calendar gummies for Kerri (thanks again Auntie Doris). Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Hi, I’m a polar bear.

I have very big feet.

And I’m sleepy.

Kerri is too terrified to come up with a funny caption for this dragon.

Or maybe just to sleepy.

Charles was having a bad day.

He was very grumpy.

He is very old so he doesn’t have many teeth.

And he sometimes seems half senile.

But he is still very big, so you don’t want to be around when he gets grumpy.

And today he was very grumpy (and tired).

His wife, Josephine, is even older.

She was not impressed by Charles’s grumpiness.

The others were keeping a close eye on him.

And often cowering up where Charles couldn’t reach them.

Although occasionally the baby tried to play.

Josephine remained unimpressed.

But lazy.

Gorillas have weird feet.

But from some angles they look pretty normal.
